Solve the system by substitution.

3x-7y=12
3x-12y=6

x=34/5 y=6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

so first you need to isolate one variable in one equation

so lets use 3x-12y=6

3x=12y+6

x=4y+2

then, as the name implies, we substitute it into the second equation

3(4y+2)-7y=12

then we simplify

12y+6-7y=12

5y=6

y=6/5

then we plug it in to find x

3x-7(6/5)=12

3x-42/5=12

3x=102/5

x=34/5

check work

3(34/5)-12(6/5)=6

102/5-72/5=6

30/5=6

6=6

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.

tube or goog would be a great resource to with that question
